Bolustical:
Nigeria is a very nice country.

Apart from our greedy leaders, it's our perpetual drug pushers that dented and still dents its image.

God bless this country.

I don't dignify tribalists like you both within and without my kinsmen but I'd like to set the record straight for you.
I am IGBO and I am ashamed of my tribesmen who go out there disgracing themselves not us.
However, have you known any IGBO leader peddling drugs?
With all due respect to the JAGABAN, but was a drug lord (not just a peddler).
What of Kashamu?
The YORUBA nation is a great one and I LOVE the people but when you run up making it a one-sided thing, check yourself.
The North would have been a perfect example of a tribe low in crime but for their EXTREME religious intolerance.

sarrki:
Kanus is the way that leads to destruction

He wants other tribes killed

He preach hatred

He wants to cause genocide

In as much as I don't like the way PMB flooded Aba with soldiers, this is the only sensible statement I read from you on NL.
You and Kanu are no different

sarrki:
Hatred thread

In as much as I am 100% against Kanu and have always been and will never want to be in a country where KANU is a leader cos he does not portray such, as an IGBO man.
I wish to state clearly to the owner of Nairaland that Mr. Sarrki here and his type both from the SE, SS, NW, NE, SW, and NC ares the reason Nigeria has been in chaos.
They will never be seen in threads of peace or better discuss but in a thread filled with hate for each other.
KANU and his likes have let the hate actions against them get to them and in turn hating other, inadvertently making their hearts bitter and hate personalities.
Therr isn't no difference between Kanu and anyone going around hating others and wishing them dead.

Very true
That KANU and his mouth eeeeeeeh! I couldn't stand it even when I'm 100% Igbo.
However, the SE governors did the best thing for the meantime,
If they didn't, the mad dogs of NA would still be killing a lot of people by now

sarrki:
He's telling us how to stop the most dangerous terrorist group on earth (ipobs)

Please Sarrki, do you have a job other than be online from morning till night trolling?
You make it easy to believe you're being paid for political reasons.
I AM 100% IGBO AND 100% against NK but there is no way am agitation can be compared to terrorism.
If PMB is against the proscription of BH why IPOB Now.
Someday, IPOB will be no more, what will you be paid for?
If you're too lousy and lack creativity, what will be left in you?
You seem intellectual but your mix of hate and an attempt to present a being as guilty.
Same to every tribal mention here, both pro- and ANTI-PMB/IPOB

koning:
You are 0.000% Igbo. No Igbo man will speak in such terms. Ibadan and Ogbomosho belongs to the Yorubas. Lagos does not.

I challenge you here to prove I'm not IGBO.
The Oba of Lagos speaks YORUBA,
Bros LAGOS IS YORUBA AND YORUBA IS LAGOS.
Even if it's not, it's their business and not the IGBO. man's business

I am 100% IGBO blood and I wonder whom these crazy and bunch of ignorant guys are or are representing.
LAGOS IS NOT AN IGBOLAND BUT BELONGS TO THE YORUBAS AND THE EGUNS OR BINI PEOPLE (it's their business to fight and find out, not Igbos).
As an IGBO man, I am proud of what the east has become after the war (we should be 40yrs backwards but we are not); we are not the worst even when FG abandoned us. All hands are not equal, I must not live or even know Lagos to be the best cos I can be anything even from a slum state.
Dear Yorubas, LAGOS BELONGS TO YOU AND THE IGBO MAN HAS NO PACT THEREIN.
All these fake leaders BEWARE!!

Eastside046:
Afonjas cant stop loving our girls


while we dont give a f.uck abt their own


even popular Eniola and Funke the like ugly goat..

Are you OK at all?
If their guys bond to our GOOD girls can't it possibly mean we the guys aren't good enough or sth?

OmoBendel24:
Hardly in Lagos, Abuja up for grabs

Thanks Bro

Guys,
Good work in here.
Please, I have a business conferences to attend but the first one is in October 28, 2017.
Is there a chance of getting an appointment date first week of October?

Sure.

Dear Mr. SEUN,
Much respect to your foresight on developing this great site that unifies all media in the country.
However, I want to point out some critical issues with the Nairaland of today with the Nairaland then.
11. Nairaland used to be a one stop point of news for me. Rather visit the punch, vanguard and other online papers individually and sift out the news I want, Nairaland does it for me so I preferred it. But today, one hardly gets all the happening in Nigeria and other parts of the world rather we see topics like, "I killed snake in. my backyard", "Young black guy married old oyinbo lady". Not as if these should be eschewed but we see more of it than the educative and informative ones.
2. On this second issue, PLEASE IN GOD's name listen to me with objectivity and without bias.
I am 100% IGBO and I have been against NK and his IRRESPONSIBLE ways but I BELIEVE SECESSION IS A RIGHT AND NEVER A CRIME ANYWHERE in the world. So blocking off all topics that promotes Biafra is wrong.
And it baffles me why the MODs will ban anything on Biafra but will not ban a certain MUSLIM FANATIC by name "TRULYSALAFIYYAH" who author posts of gross killing directives and opposition on PMB, SLS, GEJ based on same religious grounds linked to Shekau (See two of his posts [https://www.nairaland.com/4008518/how-free-land-palestine-sheikh https://www.nairaland.com/4008514/ten-nullifiers-islam-tmc-members])
3. The ethnic, politiical and religious hatred and hate speeches in NL is just too much. I have thought of a solution bit could not come up. with anyone but II know someone out there may have the key. Mr. SEUN, NL IS FANNING THE FLAMES OF DISUNITY AMONGST NIGERIANS MUCH WORSE THAN YOU MAY KNOW IT..
I TELL YOU IF I WANT TO TURN A PATRIOT INTO A TRIBALISTIC CITIZEN,IT WILL ONLY TAKE ME INTRODUCING HIM TO? NL AND REST WILL BE HISTORY.
NL ALMOST CHANGED ME. but now I read all those Igbos & AFONJAS jabs, laugh it off and move on.
PLEASE, DON'T SHUT PEOPLE DOWN BUT A SYSTEM THAT PROMOTES LOVE AMONGST US CAN DO IT, WHERE PEOPLE CAN DEBATE WITH A SOUND MIND RATHER THAN RANCOUR AND BITTERNESS.
NL CAN BE THAT SEED THAT GERMINATES THE NEW NIGERIA.
Thanks Mr. SEUN OSEWA for creating a platform like this.

sarrki:
I can only have that kind of conversation with patriots

So, what's your definition of a patriot? Are you one? If yes, what are your sacrifices so far for Nigeria?

sarrki:
He's a patriot

A well educated fellow

He's not a sociopath

Biafra can and will never happen

You are against self-determination right?
Please can a thread be created so that I and Sarrki will hold a debate devoid of hate speeches. And on that thread, the MOD will restrict any other person other than I and Sarrki will post on the thread while others view.
MODs, is it possible to grant this request?
Lalalala oooo
Lalastica abeg

OrdercityWeb:
I just knew someone will go emotional and leave facts alone.
I guess the Chinese and Koreans who hardly inter marry are "backward" or you are more evolved than them.
How does intertribal marriage preserve culture?
What then is your identity if you are from different places at the same time?
Discouraging intertribal marriage IS NOT EQUAL TO tribalism. Tribalism has nothing to do with that, it's a mindset and you can still be a tribalist even in an intertribal marriage like the example i sited in the OP.
Please reply intelligently and with facts and not appealing to emotions or trying to sound politically correct. Face REALITY PLEASE.
...
Intertribal marriages kills and dilutes cultures they lose coherence and values becomes extinct faster

Are you YORUBA? Do you think Dansiki was worn by your progenitor?
Are you IGBO? Do you think Lion Head was worn by Eri?
Are you Hausa? Do you think your present style of clothing was worn by Mohammed?
Ogbeni, cultures evolve.
The introduction of technology has tampered on culture and values in Africa. Even education has. I am IGBO but most educated elderly Yorubas I meet and wanna "dobale" for drag me up in refusal.
Even though he tribal mark of the Yorubas which it's a value is about to be abolished by the Nigerian constitution as sponsored by Dino Melaye.
Before colonisation the traditional rulers wield immense powers unlike now, even the Ooni of Ife no matter what doesn't command the respect his ancestors of the year 1700s wielded.
Do you know all your traditional rites, values and festivals?
You mention Chinese as a reference?
Please, all these American Chinese we see, how did they come about? Even Mark Zuckerberg's wife is Chinese.
A distant relative of mine is married to a Chinese.
My brother, the world around you is evolving faster than you think.
Intertribal marriages CAN and IS driving unity. Read up histories of African empires, Persia, Greece kingdoms.
It's even in the Bible if you are a Christian.
Facts and figures prove that Cultures and Values evolve my brother, it ain't sentiments

victorDanladi:
nobody gang up against igbo.Igbo are just feeling being hated since GEJ loss the election because they are bad loosers(na delusion) and create enemy for themselves via nnamdi kanu and IPOBs careless utterances.....simple!!

but you chestbeat to be controlling 75% of nigerian economy,which due place do you guys want more?

KISS THE TRUTH OR POST EITHER EWEDU PICTURE OR DEMOLA AJAYI PICTURE.

Mr. Danladi, I am against Kalu.
However, your point is invalid. This agitation has almost nothing to do with GEJ's loss but an ingrained belief of the Igbo man that NIGERIA does not want him and they have been waiting for any opportunity to show it and though many don't prefer KALU'S ways they still follow him.
I believe in ONE NIGERIA but of a truth the Igbo has been greatly maltreated by NIGERIA.
if you want I can break this fact down for you

adexuxin:
You sound like you are protesting against something or Aggrieved. Whether what you are Aggrieved about is true or false, not my business. I just made a popular point.

GOD BLESS YOU ADE mi
I am 100% IGBO and I stand 1500% with you.
We will be better as one of we restructure and everyone given a chance to grow

Weldone Guy,
You sound like someone who would need a scholarship and having limited fund you cannot employ the services of a consultant company.
So, I advice you:
1) Get your transcript and certificates in softcopy
2) Get a good phone that can browse and create/edit word and PDF docs.
3) Subscribe the internet with a good network and make online scholarship websites the air you breathe. NB: Don't waste your time on scholarships way ahead of you especially those for first Class graduates.
You should keep a diary of the scholarships you qualify for, requirements and deadlines and a timeline to compete each application before the deadline.
See this as a building project you need to start and roof before the rainy season starts.
4) Start downloading exam practise apps and study hard. for GRE and TOEFL/IELTS as these will help markup your 2-2 result.
5) Start preparing for 2018 scholarships TODAY.
BELIEVE IT, YOU CAN GET A SCHOLARSHIP EVEN AHEAD OF FIRST CLASS GRADUATE WHO IS NOT DILIGENT WITH THE STEPS ABOVE.
AND NEVER YOU DO A SHORTCUT (THIS WILL BE YOUR GREATEST UNDOING IF YOU DO). TAKE THE LONG WAAYS AND YOU WILL HIT YOUR MARK IN TIME.
GOD's GRACE all the way bro

A lot can sway the equilibrium. Like clearing the car from the ports, ie your ability to get an honest clearing agent can reduce importation cost, risk and time.
It is definitely cheaper to bring it down yourself also because you cannot cheat yourself with the mileage & body and engine conditions.

I am a core Igbo man from Anambra State.
I support OPC on this one.
I was against PMB for arresting Kanu after all PMB himself have even said some of the things Kanu said and Amaechi Rotimi said worse during 2015 election.
But Kanu cannot keep insulting people whom have done nothing to him, especially Tinubu that has not even pooled his way

My brother,
Owing 350k should not be able to take away the humanity in you.
You have a family and friends who love you even when they cannot help. And taking your life is the worst wicked thing you'd do to them.
Relax, once there is life, hope keeps alive.
The country is tough now and money is hard to get everywhere and many people owe more than 350k and they will sure pay someday.
PLS keep alive for the future is bright

Bro, use your Google Map.
Or
Board any commercial bus or van heading to Iyana-Iba (LASU) , then from there take another bus to AGBARA.
At Agbara on the same side of the road you alighted, take a bike (between N300-400) or board a bus or keke to MEDINA (N100-200).
Godspeed

PenisCaP:
Ok o..
But ur comment smells tribalism.
Because e u didnt even type a word to celebrate this one first..
u rather mentioned another one

Guys, let's have our minds opened.
There's nothing wrong with posting the feat of a fellow Nigerian. One can even post a Ghanian's to celebrate Africa here.
Nwanne gbaa duu naaaaaaaaaa, O gini Di?

Inukwa translates to "You don hear". But in this case it implies a surprise exclamation

ProWalker:
You guys should be nice, it is this sort of below the belt jab that makes Igbos always avoid any IGR related thread on NL

I visit nairaland to enjoy the ncan parody, the memes, etc.
Truly, I enjoy all of that and don't take it too serious. In as much as my people (Igbos) are beginning to lead in international crimes unlike before.
However, I read stuffs like in this thread and I pass away but for your comment, i'll drop my take:
Nigeria's GDP in Africa is about the highest (see: http://statisticstimes.com/economy/african-countries-by-gdp.php)
Nigeria=493, while South Africa =314
But is NIGERIA the country with the best per capita income?
NO!
it is not how large an economy is but it's distribution.
It amazes me as well to see people argue that a parasitic state is one with the lowest igr.
This is flawed because the ND would have been the highest being that NIGERIA feeds from it MAJORLY.
to my Igbo folks, stop aligning with all of the SS for about 70% if not more are non-Igbos but I wonder why people would allude the 1966 coup as an Igbo coup whereas over 50% of those Igbos who participated in that coup, esp KD Nzeogwu were from the SS.
again, in as much as I still prefer one NIGERIA if not for the recent wickedness of our leaders, Biafra can and will be self sustainable as against these projections.
After 52yrs with £2 (with all politeness) and shelling, the region can be proud enough to say "WE CAN".
No region except the NE has gone through what we got through and yet today the Igbos can stand above board.
Meanwhile, all these my brothers in Malaysia giving the Igbos bad name and feeding nairaland ncan (lol) may GOD visit you all. Come home or face it hot

nnokwa042:
This the type of Oyibo we need to celebrate not yeye British people that always side northern muslim may Muslim continue to bomb them in Manchester Liverpool London till they ask for forgiveness from Igbo's,the northerners are suffering thir own at moment with boko boys ,karma is fuccking bicctch,who will imagine today northerners too will suffer kwashiorkor in camp? No body ,life Na turn by turn e go reach everybody ,British dey pay, northerners dey pay, Benue and plateau wey carry bifran matter for thier head then Na dem kill biafran children pass today dem dey pay with their blood to Fulani,muritatala Mohammed that slaughtered innocent souls at asaba he paid with his blood too,remaining some tribe that still mock blood of innocent children their own will load one day,ka chineke Mezie okwu

So, you look at those pictures of IDP camps in the North and you have the mind to say all these?
(I am ready to be banned) YOU SHOUKD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.
I AM "NWA AMA ANI" but I refuse to tango with this wicked words of your. We Igbos don't have such like this in our veins.

MetaHuman:
before we break this cesspool, I don't want to be called a drug dealer whenever I travel out of the country cos some flat heads have no other business than drugs.

lol!
Good for you, then
I am a proud Igbo tho

MetaHuman:
wrong
I'm pro self determination.
There is nothing I want more than this useless country falling apart.

Then why your many attacks? Anyway, my country is not useless rather you and I the occupants made it so.

MetaHuman:
If only these people do this when they catch them with drugs in malaysia, singapore, south africa, china etc.
They will just tag them biafurians, not nigerians.

I am typically Igbo and I couldn't agree more.
You words are smart. lol! You got no chill at all!
However, why do you see the agitations for one's republic a bad thing?
You can as well see that we are no more different than the white slave masters of the past or Hitler's Nazi.
South-Africans were maltreated and denied freedom for asking for freedom.
Is it not as e thing with us today?
Though I want and prefer a better Nigeria, asking for Biafra isn't wrong. In addition, NNAMDI KANU should mellow the harshness of his agitation style.

egbabiekperemo1:
Pls can u do humanity a favour and stop contaminating the ibo and southern race with your afonja blood. Stick to your women and marry them only simple..
We need to understand where our igbo societal problems are sprunging out from, probably as a result of the contaminated offsprings from afonja tribe

I just don't understand why young minds engage in tribalism like you guys do in here.
Anyway, I blame Mr. Seun who decided to fan the flames.
You believe in GOD and HE, GOD said all HE made was good and you dare to call an amazing tribe made by GOD a contamination?
In fact, you guys are the more reason the world and Nigeria are in this terrible state than our bad politicians

kestolove95:
so why are dey crying now instead of jubilating?...who even wrote dix chibok script sef?...enuf mistake dey am

So, you've never heard of "tears of joy"?
We should learn to be human.
These girls spent a major part of their childhood being dehumanized and you are asking these kinda questions.
Be quiet at least if you can't show love and solidarity
